The Croke Park protest was hardly peaceful. They forced their way in (injuring security staff in the process) and trespassed. They should be identified and charged.

Replying To Pikeman96: "Two things for you:
1 - It wasn't The Sunday Game. That's not on at this time of year. Won't actually start until the Championship does.
2 - This is not the first time a Tyrone person has disregarded how the actual name of the programme is "Allianz League Sunday"" Peter disregarded nothing. That was addressed on the broadcast on Saturday evening. Maybe watch it back?

Replying To Tirchonaill1: "I must just check Allianz for a quote, my insurance is due for renewal soon, if they are cheaper I'll be going with them,
makes no difference to me, I know no more about them than any other insurer, I know they have sponsored our GAA for years though, that counts for something with me." Everyone's choice who they get their insurance with, couldn't care either way but people have a right to peaceful protest. GAA was here before Allianz and will be here long after them. You'd think by some people that GAA couldn't survive without them. How would Allianz Croke Park sound?

Replying To southmeathgael: "The amount of champagne socialists in Ireland is worrying, so much virtue signalling" Yeah complaining about the 65000 dead in Gaza is "virtue signalling".

Replying To Saynothing: "Two things Richard, Peter didn't storm into Croke Park, the other, he simply marched to Croke Park in support of something he believes is wrong. Not for the first time Cantwell tried to ambush Peter live on the Sunday Game and not for the first time he had an answer for her." Two things for you:
1 - It wasn't The Sunday Game. That's not on at this time of year. Won't actually start until the Championship does.
2 - This is not the first time a Tyrone person has disregarded how the actual name of the programme is "Allianz League Sunday"

Replying To iarmhiabu: "Like the County Board, you obviously haven't thought this one through, coming out with such nonsense. Of course, the Championship rankings is based off the performance of the teams the previous year, this is usually the case in sport. The record of teams from Senior Section B when matched up against teams from Section A in the knockout stages is atrocious. Therefore Section A is much stronger and a fairer, genuine tiered Championship structure is absolutely necessary. A fairier, genuine tiered Championship structure should see more qualification spots for the stronger tier, easier paths (Semi Final Byes), there has to be reward for competing at the higher level, competitive merit etc. This is exactly what we had. Until the geniuses aided by one club (no surprise they are in Section B) with 4 possible voting cards (unheard of in the GAA) rammed through the changes, contrary to the evidence, and most of all, disregarding the wishes of the players. Now we are left with a tiered Championship structure which has made the distinction between tiers less meaningful, reduces competitive integrity and creates unequal strength. And you were saying about flaws?" It's completely nonsensical. If 3 from each group then should be an open draw , like it was from 2000 - 2016. If tiered by last years results then it has to be 4 and 2. The people who pushed this know this , but they are only thinking about how their own club can benefit in 2026.

Replying To Pope_Benedict: "5 teams have beaten them by an 11 point average so far. If we're 'happy' with a 1pt win against that backdrop, it suggests that we probably belong in division 2 anyway. Inniskeen I think, not Clones." I think that this type of talk is very dangerous. Monaghan have had some terrible results , but they didnt turn into a bad team overnight. Scotstown lads will be getting more settled back in, and they have some really dangerous forwards. They were unlucky not to beat dublin , and see what dublin did to ros. Iniskeen will be even tougher, and i certainly dont think that if we walk out with a 1 point win that it is any way an indicator that we deserve to go to division 2.

Replying To Viking66: "Those arab countries attacked the Israelis in the 1940s, not the other way around. Or at least thats how the story is told in any history book Ive read on the subject over the last 40 years.
And who thinks the current Israeli government is justified in their recent actions in Gaza? I can't say I know anybody that thinks thats the case.
And as regards empires it was a Jewish and Christian population that was living there long before Islam was even invented. So which Empire are you talking about there? The Romans? Saladins Empire? That area has been conquered by Empires since before Jesus was born." Was this the same history books that taught the English population that the people of Ireland were all savages threatening their beloved crown as they stole land and placed settlers all over? Remind you of a place in the middle east in the 1940s?
You are kinda justifying the current regime by bringing up historical placement, just like they do and their media do to justify killing innocent civilians en mass. I'm sure you'd have an issue if someone landed at your own doorstep and told you his ancestors lived their so they are here to take it from or you and your family will face the consequences.

Replying To totalrecall: "No issue with the protest and I have yet to hear convincing argument put forward by the GAA other than a financial one for keeping the sponsor.
Maybe people should look in general at their insurance , I'm sure Allianz aren't the only financial institution with links to what is happening in gaza." I must just check Allianz for a quote, my insurance is due for renewal soon, if they are cheaper I'll be going with them,
makes no difference to me, I know no more about them than any other insurer, I know they have sponsored our GAA for years though, that counts for something with me.

I think he is speaking from lived experience of being terrorised by an imperial power in his own land and seeing similarities of that in Gaza.

I'd get a refund on that history book if I was you.

Replying To SaffronDon: "You sound more pro Israeli than some of their prime ministers who admitted that they would never have accepted the terms of the 2 state solution offered to the Palestinians. I mean they've only attacked about 7 or 8 countries in the region and still some people think the Israeli's are justified in their actions. Even more amazing that its coming from people in Ireland who should know full well what imperialism looks like." Those arab countries attacked the Israelis in the 1940s, not the other way around. Or at least thats how the story is told in any history book Ive read on the subject over the last 40 years.

Replying To Greengrass1: "Not disagreeing with you but in the event of no referee turning up (which can happen) it falls to the host club to provide a referee or failing that for the teams to agree to a referee. Fixtures Sec can only do so much!" Why should the host club appoint a referee? It's not ladies football, where the host club is/was responsible for the ref. Some refs organise a replacement if they can't do it, failing that then the fixtures secretary should get a ref.

Remaining 45 minutes the scoring was Roscommon 2-7 Dublin 0-8." Plus Enda and Diarmuid missed 2 goal chances early in the 2nd half.

McGee, Hugh, Roarty and Conor O'Donnell have been our most impressive performers so far. I expect us to go to Roscommon and win. Gives us a chance to rest as many as possible for the Monaghan game and play the full deck in the league final.

Replying To BarneyGrant: "Probably most people on Sunday Game have Allianz insurance or an Israeli made or company owned computer or component. Israeli financial companies have mortgages on quite a lot of places here including asylum accommodation.
Which is why the protest is virtue signalling. Someone or some group picks one thing for someone else to do at their expense - soccer players to sacrifice their chance to play in international competitions is another - while doing absolutely nothing that will cost themselves." Nail on head Barney.Same as roy keane saying world cup should nt be in Quatar but he travelled there as a pundit and took the money.

Replying To bláthach: "I think we need to support the lads at this critical juncture of the five year programme please thanks so much. It's not all going to be plain sailing thanks in advance for agreeing.
Look at Sligo, they're also struggling with a new manager please. Roscommon have calved earlier than normal too thank you with a new manager. It takes time. Thanks everyone." Ros are in Division one love and have three wins. Yes and we still have the fears of relegation. Hopefully it will work out. As for yourselves. Could you get relegated from Division four. Now that really would be "calving" as you say. Keep it up in the air and keep working hard. Please thank you very much.
